Last Saturday, former Bush administration official Morgan Reynolds drew an enthusiastic capacity crowd to the Wisconsin Historical Society auditorium. It is probably the first time in Historical Society history that a political talk has drawn a full house on a Saturday afternoon at the beginning of final exams.

Reynolds, the former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis, and the ex-top economist for George W. Bush's Labor Department, charged the Bush administration with gross malfeasance, and proposed the prosecution of top administration officials.

Normally, if a prestigious UW alumnus and ex-Bush administration official were to come to the Wisconsin Historical Society to spill the beans about a Bush administration scandal, it would make the news. The local TV stations would cover it, and it would merit front page headlines in The Capital Times and Wisconsin State Journal.

Reynolds' indictment of the administration he worked for was a stunning, life-changing event for many of those who witnessed it. As the event's organizer, I have received dozens of e-mails about it from people who were deeply affected.

Despite the prestigious speaker and venue, and the gravity of the charges aired, for most Americans indeed most Madisonians the event never happened. Why? Because it was censored, subjected to a total media blackout. Not a word in the State Journal. Not a word in The Capital Times. Not a word on the local TV news. Not a word on local radio news. And, of course, not a word in the national media.

Why the blackout? Because Reynolds violated the ultimate U.S. media taboo. He charges the Bush administration with orchestrating the 9/11 attacks as a pretext for launching a preplanned "long war" in the Middle East, rolling back our civil liberties, and massively increasing military spending.

When a former Bush administration insider makes such charges, how can the media ignore them? Is Reynolds a lone crank? Hardly. A long list of prominent Americans have spoken out for 9/11 truth: Rev. William Sloane Coffin, Sen. Barbara Boxer, former head of the Star Wars program Col. Robert Bowman, ex-Reagan administration economics guru Paul Craig Roberts, progressive Jewish author-activist Rabbi Michael Lerner, former CIA official Ray McGovern, author-essayist Gore Vidal, and many other respected names from across the political spectrum have gone on the record for 9/11 truth.

Are the media ignoring all these people, and dozens more like them, because there is no evidence to support their charges? Hardly. Overwhelming evidence, from the obvious air defense stand-down, to the nonprotection of the president in Florida, to the blatant controlled demolition of World Trade Center building 7, proves that 9/11 was an inside job. As noted philosopher-theologian and 9/11 revisionist historian David Griffin writes: "It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, one very important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government."

A growing list of scientists has lined up behind BYU physicist Steven Jones and MIT engineer Jeff King in support of Griffin's position, as evidenced by the growth of Scholars for 9/11 Truth (st911.org) and Scientific Professionals Investigating 9/11 (physics911.net).

As a Watergate-era graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism, I was taught that exposing government lies and corruption is the supreme duty of the Fourth Estate. I simply cannot fathom the current situation. I do not understand the 9/11 truth blackout. I wish someone would explain it to me.

It is time to break the 9/11 truth blackout. Please put pressure on your local media through letters to the editor, call-ins to talk radio, and phone calls to local and national journalists.

And come see Peter Phillips, director of the media watchdog group Project Censored, who will lead a strategy session on breaking the blackout at the upcoming international 9/11 truth conference in Chicago: 9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future, to be held June 2-4 at the Embassy Suites Hotel, Chicago-O'Hare Rosemont. Go to http://911revealingthetruth.org for more information.

The event will feature presentations from dozens of 9/11 truth luminaries, from scientists like Steven Jones to intelligence agency whistle-blowers like David Shayler, and promises to be a historic, watershed event. Be there, or resign yourself to a future of endless war, lost liberty, and a craven media that cannot bring itself to breathe a single word of truth.

I wonder why the media refuses to even ask the open questions surrounding this topic.

I wonder why the media refuses to even ask the open questions surrounding this topic.

An example why: NBC is owned by GE, who is a major defense contractor. This protracted conflict makes for big bucks for the parent company, so I imagine that the media component of it is told to shut the **** up. Since the field of journalism is so rife with cowards these days, they see no problem in the banality of evil and sit idly by.

I don't think its wise to push the MIHOP aspect of 9/11 if what you/we really want is "9/11 Truth".

There are several possible outcomes that could result from a real investigation, ranging from massive incompetence, to deliberately turning a blind eye, to full blown orchestration. I don't think it's wise to promote one possible outcome (the most easy to radicalize and ignore) when what we really want is something that everyone our nation deserves, which is "9/11 Truth" (some might think we have that already, but at least we agree that we want it).

All I know is that there had to be an internal component in order for the secondary charges to be placed... ANd that there's enough evidence of the secondary charges to reasonably conclude that they were indeed there. Whether that falls under MHOP, or WHOP, or IHOP or whatever, I don't care.

I believe the thread title is misleading. I don't believe this former Bush Admin official claims that 9/11 was an inside job. Let me know if you find what he actually did say.

It's not. He does.

You can't find out what he actually says because the media wont report on it.

The internal charges you speak of exsist only in your head and in the heads of other conspiracy nuts. No evidence exists of any charges that could have been detonated as you have attempted to sell those on this board. It's all speculation and conspiracy that drives your beliefs.

Whatever Tom. Evidence exists for anyone who cares to examine it.

Along with everyone else, I could care less what you think... But for anyone who is willing to examine the evidence for themselves, I present the following video:

2) Forward to 39:36 and listen to the firefighters give their accounts of the secondary charges.

Finally, after seeing these videos and examining the evidence, ask yourself why FDNY fire fighters remain under a gag order (Rodriguezvs-1.Bush.pdf, p. 10) to not discuss the explosions they heard, felt and saw. FAA personnel are also under a 9/11 gag order.

Thanks, jAZ. I had previously read a couple of his LewRockwell articles on the subject and they only made the case of a skeptic saying that he didn't believe the official investigation and that more debate and investigation was necessary. The wiki page basically says the same thing.

Your prisonplanet link is a little more explicit, suggesting that he indicated the he personally believes the evidence leads him toward a government plot (i.e. an inside job). Assuming that this is true (I didn't listen to the audio link due to bandwidth issues), I retract my challenge as to the thread title.

It's worth noting though that despite the fact that he was an official in the Bush administration, he's just as much of an outsider as the rest of us when it comes to any 9/11 plot. This isn't a case, as prisonplanet contends, of a whistleblower spilling the beans.

Have you bothered to examine the evidence Patty? I'd be curious to hear your rationalization of it...

Or any other skeptic of the claim of secondary explosions. Rather than just denying they existed, I'd be interested in hearing the rationalizations against the boots on the ground who clearly were saying they did.
